Movement Started
For Better Babies
Texas Takes Steps in the New
Program of Race Develop-
ment.
Better corn, better cotton, bet-
ter hogs, and better this and bet-
ter that have been preached en-
thusiastically in Texas during
the past few years, but there is
no “better movement” so enthu-
siastic as the “better babies”
movement.
So far it has taken the form
of contests, scientifically judged
by competent people. The con-
jtest furnishes not only an inspir-
ation to those exhibiting their
(products, but it is educational in
that it enforces upon the minds
pf the fond parents just what
are the points of excellence in
a baby, and just what character-
istics are counted as defects.
' The Better Babies Contest is
really a popular, yet scientific,
movement to insure better babies
and a better race. It consists ol
entering, examining and award-
ing prizes to children of three
years or less on exactly the same
basis or principles that are ap-
plied to live-stock shows. Mere
beauty does not count. Physical
and mental development only are
considered. The Better Babies
Contest insures a better race of
Americans, because it teaches
parents how to improve the
physical condition of children. It
arouses interest in the conserva-
tion of child life and health In
all forms of child welfare.- It
forges a connecting link between
parents and teachers, it promotes
civic interest, in children of the
community, ■ tileir schools and
their recreations.
The Child Welfare Depart-
ment of the University of Texas,
believes that, by the interest
aroused in these contests, the at-
tention of parents, may be called
to many needs of young children,
,both as to the care of theii
bodies and of their minds. Miss
[Jessie P. Rich, of this depart-
ment, therefore, is offering to co-
Potts points out that most of
these young men come from the
city and will return to the city
where their agricultural training
will be useless.
“They should be taught trades,”
he says, “that will make them
useful citizens when discharged.’*
To this end he advocates the
establishment of a reformatory
for the criminally-disposed youth
between the ages of 17 and 25;
otherwise, there is danger of con-
verting these misguided youths
into hopeless criminals. Mr.
Potts has made an especial study
of Criminology in all its phases.
He occupies the position of as-
sistant Dean of the law depart*
ment of the University of Texas.

day progress. The division of
Public Welfare of the University
of Texas Extension Department
recently undertook a study of
marketing farm products, and
naturally desired to know the cost
of production of farm products,
Owing to the fact that few farm-
ers keep an intelligible set of
books, this important data is very-
difficult to obtain.
This bookkeeping can be made
very simple and the record kept
without difficulty. Such record
will consist of all the items,
which show what has been paid
in the way of rent for land,
Wages for labor, and interest on
capital used. If such record is
checked up from day to day, re-
cording the amount of land used
and such items as the use of
machinery and the number of
days labor given to the crop, it
will be found that it is easy to
determine about what it costs the
farmer to produce his product.

Young ien Needed
Youths of 17 and 25 Should Be
Separated From Hardened
Criminals.
The speech of C. S. «Potts, a
Texan, before the Prison Reform
Congress at its last meeting in
Memphis, Tenn., is considered
by those who heard it as one of
the most thoughtful contribu-
tions of recent years to the prob-
lem of prison reform.
He pointed out the startling
fact that there are 1,500 young
men between the ages of 17 and
25 in the penitentiary of Texas
today, one-third of whom arc
white. These are formative years,
the years when young men are
preparing for life work. Under
the present system these young
men are worked upon the State
farms—trained, if trained at all—
to become farmers. But Mr,
Will H. Mayes.
newspaper-reading public. Jour-
nalism is coming more and more
to be considered as a matter of
vital concern to the people as a
whole—the people are beginning
to demand truth of the great
news-gathering and news-distrib-
uting agencies, just as they are
demanding pure food, establish-
ling departments of government
jto enforce this demand.
The State University of Tex-
as has fortunately recognized the
need of trained men to serve the
people in the capacity of news-
gatherers and news-interpreters
(and has established this year a
ISchool of Journalism, where the
highest ideals of the profession
will be inculcated, and where
young men and women of the
slate with a bent for this line ol
‘work will have the opportunity
to secure this training which is
iso essential to the welfare of the
State. |
The newspapers of Texas are
excellent, and they have built up j
in Texas an enlightened public
opinion, but the need for trained
journalists, (preferably Texans)
is growing every day more ur-
gent.
Hon. Will II. Mayes, a success-
ful newspaper man, who has
spent his life maintaining the
best traditions of Texas journal-
ism, has been selected by the
University authorities as head
of the new school. It will oe
open for students in September
T\0 YOU know of anyone
U who is old enough to
read, who has not seen that
sign at a railroad crossing?
If everyone hag seen it at sbittt
time or other, then why doesn’t
the railroad let the sign rot
away ? Why does the railroad
company continue to keep
those signs at every crossing ?
Maybe you think, Mr. Merchant,
“Most everybody knows my
store, I don’t have to advertise."
Your store and your goods need
more advertising than the rail-
roads need do to warn people
to “Look Out for the Cars.”
Nothing is ever complete^ in the
advertising world. ,
The Department Stores are a
very good example—they are
continually advertising—and
they are continually doing a
good business.
If it pays to run a few ads ’round
about Christmas time, it cer-
tainly will pay you to run ad-
vertisements about all the time.
It’s just business, that’s all, to
